Shah Rukh Khan’s Knight Riders Get Own Cricket Ground In Los Angeles; King Khan Says, “What Started As A Dream Has Become A Reality”

In a landmark moment for the cricket, the Knight Riders Group has etched its name into cricket history by becoming the first global cricket brand to establish an international cricket stadium, with the Knight Riders Cricket Ground, LA, officially hosting its first Major League Cricket fixture.

As the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) take the field against Washington Freedom, the occasion marks far more than the opening of a new venue. It represents the arrival of a permanent, world-class cricketing home in the US and underscores the Knight Riders Group’s vision of accelerating the growth of cricket through long-term investment in world-class infrastructure.
